Teaching a live test without a live panel
Simulated insulation resistance testing for a blended learning programme — the procedure run in 3D, at the learner’s pace.
Megger makes the instruments that prove an electrical system is safe before anyone energises it — chief among them the megohmmeter, the insulation resistance tester the company is named after. But the instrument is the least interesting part. It is a box with two leads. What matters is where those leads go, in what order, and what the reading means.
So the test was simulated rather than filmed. The panel, the instrument and the procedure were built in 3D and run as a simulation inside a blended learning programme — classroom and field instruction carrying what they are good at, the simulation carrying the parts that are hard to schedule, unsafe to stage, or over too quickly to follow. The same panel can be shown correct and faulted, and a step holds for as long as the learner needs it.

The guide
Testing procedures staged in a modelled panel — where the leads go, in what order, and what the instrument reads when they are right.
Outcome
Made with Megger and Outfit as a workforce development resource: a simulation that sits alongside the classroom and the field rather than replacing either, and reaches everyone who needs the procedure rather than the crew who happened to be on site that day.
